The fact that Western Muslims are free means that they can have enormous impact. But it would be wrong to claim that we are imposing our ways on the West. New ideas are now coming from the West.

Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Advertising, music, atmospheres, subliminal messages and films can have an impact on our emotional life, and we cannot control it because we are not even conscious of it.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
The 'army camp' that coordinates the agencies of our brain is vulnerable, both in itself and from within. In effect, he who can know and master its functioning and psychology from outside can become twice its master.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Discomfort levels in our societies are rising, or so it would seem. In theory, we invoke diversity and tolerance. But in real life, we raise our hackles and withdraw into ourselves.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Our democratic societies are in danger. In allowing ourselves to be infiltrated by fear, to be blinded by the passion of identity, we are entertaining the most serious illusions about our freedom.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Our pluralist society must provide its citizens with the tools to understand religions, their symbols and their practices.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Religious symbols should be visible in public space, in a dignified and non-provocative manner. Christmas trees here, Jewish menorahs there and, further along, a minaret - these symbols represent human life in all its diversity.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
We must delve deep into history the better to engage a true dialogue of civilisations. Fear of the present can impose upon the past its own biased vision.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
National politics and elections are dominated by emotions, by lack of self-confidence, by fear of the other, by insecurity, by infection of the body politic by the virus of victimhood.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
In its haste to bolster nationalism, in its obsession with security, Europe is losing its soul.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Every country in Europe needs immigrants for its economic survival.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
No civilisation can claim to have a monopoly on universal values and no one can claim to be always faithful to his own values.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Lack of consistency is a weakness shared by all nations.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Violence against embassies and civilians must be categorically condemned. At the same time, we must attempt to understand why such events occur.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
While criticism of Israel is legitimate and justifiable, it cannot be an excuse - in any way, shape or form - for anti-Semitism.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
The young people who join extremist groups are clearly suffering from massive deficiencies in religious knowledge and are often politically gullible (when they are not attempting to salve pangs of conscience by cutting themselves off from a life of delinquency).
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
South Africa never leaves one indifferent. Its history, its population, its landscapes and cultures - all speak to the visitor, to the student, to the friend of Africa.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
South Africa is labouring to find its revolutionary path; the colours of the Rainbow Nation have difficulty blending together; the wealthy elites (white, black or Indian) profit from de facto segregation.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
The rich stick together; the poor and the marginalised are thrown together.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
It is only through the opposition of ideas that we can learn to be self-critical, to work towards intellectual humility.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
The 21st century - and the atheists - needs the presence of religion, just as religion must deal with the real challenges and the thinkers of the day in order to sharpen the conscience and the intelligence of those who study the timeless sacred texts in a spirit of responding to the questions of their time.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
If religious people deny paradise to their opponents or to 'non-believers,' atheists would likewise seek to eliminate 'dangerous' believers with their 'childish' ways and their heads in the clouds.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
The month of Ramadan is the world's most widespread fast and yet its teachings are minimised, neglected and even betrayed (through literal application of rules that overlooks their ultimate objective).
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Ramadan is, in its essence, a month of humanist spirituality.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Malaysia is a country unlike any other: Full of promise and fragility. Its history, cultural and religious diversity make it a rich, compelling and surprising land.
Written by
Tariq Ramadan
Being Muslim has become synonymous with pointed questions, with tension and mistrust, even with conflict. It has become a global phenomenon with profound consequences for inter-communal relations, political rhetoric and policies at the local, regional, national and international level.
